hi there,
few months back i successfully submitted sitemap to google and now
mysite.com/sitemap.html is working but
http://www.mysite.com/modules.php?name=Sitemap&op=Google
is giving me this error.

Code:




XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity


Location: http://www.mysite.com/modules.php?name=Sitemap&op=Google


Line Number 1, Column 2: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84 http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84/sitemap.xsd"><!-- Created by nukeSEO Sitemap 1.0B --><!-- Updated on 2013-02-02T11:02:53-0700 -->


-^

while searching i found out that its because of the blank space before <
if this the reason please tell me how to solve it.

thanks

Have you changed any other files that might be included prior to displaying the sitemap? (e.g. config.php, mainfile,php, modules.php)

It's possible that there is a space after a closing ?> in one of those files. Do you see the blank space on a regular webpage?
